The critics ravaged the movie, but none of them ever won so much as a toilet seat, let alone an Academy Award. David Lean's movies won, I believe, 18 Oscars in his career and for me, Ryan's Daughter was one of his best. I wached it three nights in a row in 1971, in Hawaii and remember telling everyone that I knew that a village idiot , who never spoke a word in the movie was going to win an Oscar. I was right. John Mills won it for Best Supporting Actor. Great, great movie. An epic.
incredible acting by mills , i watched as a young girl with my mom and she loved this movie now as an adult i praise this movie, so innocent in a way, in this day and age so much over the top sex and violence in movies that this is still a classic in every way, love it!
Ezt a filmet Magyarországon még nem vetítették le! 1970-1990-2009 soha még! Én levelet írtam 1990-ben, amikor a ruszki megszállóknak ki kellett innen takarodni végre, hogy ezt a filmet végre vásárolják meg és fordítsék le magyar nyelvre is és adják le a TV-ben! Ha már moziban sem látni itt. És nem is válaszoltak a levelemre. Mondjátok el mindenkinek! Please!
When I was a boy I remember seeing this movie with my father (late)in a `VISTARAMA PROJECTION' theatre years ago!!I searched for this movie in YOUTUBE when I remembered some scenes act by JOHN MILLS (Names I came to know only now but remembered vaguely the scenes!)I am surprised how our present day movies have moved away from such outstanding and quality `character acting'!!Seeing this clip moves my heart!!JOHN MILLS REALLY DESERVES OSCAR FOR THIS SUPERB ACTING!!
Immediately after shooting the 'lobster scene' on the beach, David lean said to John Mills (Michael), "Have you ever won an Oscar Johnnie?" How prophetic was that! Dear Sir John, great actor, great man, sadly missed.
I hate to sound really really stupid, but I've watched this film a couple of times, and I was wondering, is the lobster a real one or a fake one?

Th word "ham acting" was invented to describe Mill's overblown acting in this film. It is a caricature.

Yes, this is often the type of performance that wins an Oscar. We are so aware that he is acting, acting, acting. Yawn.

It's fair to say that Michael is a kind of cross between Quasimodo and Norman Wisdom.
